Humidity: Obtaining the Perfect Moisture Level

Humidity can be a pain, but even more importantly, humidity can have a big impact on the quality of the air within your house and your home comfort levels. The United States Environmental Protection Agency suggests families keep proper humidity levels, saying it is an easy way your home can achieve improved indoor air quality.

Luckily, you can control it.

The best thing to do is to incorporate a whole-house humidifier and dehumidifier system. Humidity levels in the range of 35% and 50% are preferred for comfort, experts say. But if you want an environment that doesn’t include microbes and that won’t damage wood, the humidity levels should be kept between 45% and 50%. Humidity needs to be balanced correctly to make sure your home has the right amount.

Higher Levels of Moisture – Air may feel stuffy and warmer than the actual temperature in your home and can provide the strongest foundation for the growth of bacteria and other pollutants.

Lower Levels of Moisture – Your body may react by experiencing dry skin, sore throats and respiratory issues. Dry air may also harm your wooden home furnishings, such as floors, paneling and furniture.

Our experts have a complete offering of quality equipment, and combined with our expert advice and knowledge, will help you maintain proper humidity levels, relax comfortably in your home and breathe easier.
